I'm sure a properly fitted bolt in center section will be just fine. Nearly all of the trash truck chassis come with bolt together 5 piece crossmembers now, they never come loose.

You get the plate system I am referring to then. With plates welded cross dimentionally to the sections and bolting together like a rig does.
